Hi, I'm Kyle, a Product Designer based in Orange County, CA who loves taking products from a rough idea all the way to something people actually use.

I thrive in startup environments where ambiguity is the norm and wearing multiple hats is the expectation. I lead the full design process, from early user research and defining product requirements, to high-fidelity Figma prototypes, to writing production UI code in SwiftUI. Being able to work fluidly across design and engineering means I can stay close to the product at every stage and make sure nothing gets lost between a design file and a finished screen. I also lean into AI tools throughout my process to work smarter, whether that's synthesizing research faster, sharpening requirements, or supporting development.

My background in psychology is something I bring into every project. Understanding why people behave the way they do shapes how I frame problems, conduct user research, and ultimately make design decisions. It also helps me work well with people—connecting stakeholders, building alignment, and keeping cross-functional teams moving in the same direction.

Outside of my core product work, I've had the chance to consult and coach designers at companies like Verizon and Wells Fargo, helping them build better design systems, get more out of Figma, and create smoother handoffs to engineering. Teaching has always been a part of who I am, and it makes me a stronger collaborator and communicator on any team I'm part of.

When I'm not designing, you can find me playing basketball 🏀, discovering new cafes ☕, or biking through a park 🚲. Always happy to connect, whether you have an opportunity in mind or just want to say hi 👋
